All red sleeves put on pallets (22) today to be removed from our RDC. As Atherstone is closed it is a mystery where they are bound.

We're still using lots of red sleeves, if we didn't we'd be failing dispatches through not having enough equipment

There's loads of white ones where the doors are either missing or too broken to be used for small packets/small Tracked. Luckily we've managed to have enough non-sleeved yorks for manual letters, mech letters and flats otherwise we've need to physically remove the doors from the corexs as it's too tight getting trays into correx sleeves.

One correx sleeve the other night was being used for smalls, I didn't dare touch it as it looked like it was ready to burst open

Yeah had a few of them, that photo company had a full one how it never shed it contents in the wagon is beyond me, so as it got to the sorting area it broke apart and spilled everywhere.

Spotted a new one last night, I'm assuming they've only just started entering circulation. A green version of the correx but with a lid for SD lockers
I saw a few green ones last week in our MC. But some people are not aware they are for SD and are left on the main floor. To be honest, if I wasn't reading the forum, I wouldn't know either.

Seems like the green correx sleeves have just about replaced all the old fabric sleeves already
